Celebrating Hawaii's Best Restaurants
In 1984, HONOLULU Magazine established its Hale Aina Awards as the Islands’ first local restaurant awards.
Hale Aina means “eating place.” It is the closest Hawaiian equivalent to the word restaurant. But Hale Aina has come to mean the most prestigious dining awards in the Islands. To maintain the integrity of the awards, only HONOLULU subscribers can vote for them, on a ballot included in the July and August issues of HONOLULU. After the ballots are tallied, the magazine designates its readers’ favorite restaurants as Hale Aina Award winners for that year. Read more about its history.
